Lilac Time is a beautiful Dinner Plate Dahlia variety with huge lilac-purple flowers that really light up the garden during the summer months. Perfect for a border or patio containers the giant flower heads make this variety exceptional for cut flowers for the vase. Height 1-1.2m and spread 60cm. Flowers June to October. Top grade tubers supplied.

Dahlia tubers can be planted 10cm deep in fertile well drained soil, outdoors in spring when the frost has disappeared. They prefer to be in a sunny location and spaced at approximately 45cm apart.

In areas where there is extreme cold, dig up dahlias and store in a cool peat over the winter. Apply a high potash fertiliser every few weeks in the summer to help growth and they can be dead headed when necessary.
